Installing the ipa-server on our VMs takes about 13 to 14 minutes.
We have to do this often during development.  Stupid question:  Is
there a way to speed this up substantially?  More memory, more
CPUs or whatever?

You can start by investigating which step takes most time.

We collect such statistics in Azure Pipelines in upstream CI with the
following small grep:

    grep 'service duration:' /var/log/ipaserver-install.log | sed -e 's/DEBUG 
//g'

For example, recent git master run does have following results:

2021-03-08T07:43:51.1097753Z 1  [2021-03-08 07:43:50] + ipa-server-install -U 
--domain ipa.test --realm IPA.TEST -p Secret123 -a Secret123 --setup-dns 
--setup-kra --auto-forwarders
[...]
2021-03-08T07:52:18.6298249Z 1  [2021-03-08 07:52:17] The ipa-server-install 
command was successful
2021-03-08T07:52:18.6298977Z 1  [2021-03-08 07:52:18] + install_result=0
[...]

E.g. it takes around 8 minutes 27 seconds. If we look at individual
steps, then CA+KRA deployment needs good chunk of that time (157 + 166
seconds).

IPA needs to generate a lot of keys and that needs good randomness.
